Resale and recycling represent the final stage of our value chain. Aware of our environmental impact, we ensure that our end-of-life or end-of-contract equipment is repurposed to the fullest extent. Once identified and recovered, spare parts* are carefully inspected by our teams before being reused within the Group.

Our teams also work closely with specialized partners to recover materials and reduce waste, as part of a sustainability-driven approach.

In 2024, over 4,000 parts were reused. Our ambition is to expand this dismantling capability to offer even more spare parts in the future and continue reducing our environmental footprint.
